Mechanimals

When a tornado leaves a farmer with a heap of scrap metal and no animals, his neighbors are sure it's all over for him. But the determined farmer refuses to admit defeat. His plans are big, and when his neighbors dismiss them with the words, "When pigs fly," they grow bigger still. The farmer sets to work to turn that scrap metal into some rather surprising creatures. Mechanimals will help all of us believe in our dreams, despite what the neighbors may say.

Hi Conall,
I'm so glad you enjoyed The Original Shnoozles' first adventure in Shnoozleland.
Book two should be here by the end of 2011, "Past Moe's Toad." Hope you come back

This book is meant to be the first episode of a serial. Every episode sees Tabasca and her kids involved into a different crazy adventure while preparing a new recipe from the magic recipe book.

A great book for this Day of Remembrance, as well as for religious education, vacation bible school, and Sunday school, and family/children's mass.
